Abstract:
A high-frequency induction hardening analysis
method was established based on
electromagnetic-thermal translate analysis
(co-simulation). To apply the same conditions as
that of the experiment to the high-frequency
induction hardening analysis, the
temperature-dependent material properties of
AISI 1045 were entered. During cooling, the
analysis results could be obtained by setting
the cooling conditions of water. After the
hardening depth of the high-frequency
induction-hardened specimen was measured using a
micro Vickers hardness tester, the hardening
depth and hardening pattern were verified with a
metallurgical structure. The experiment results
were compared with the finite element analysis
(FEA) results. The hardening pattern could be
confirmed because AISI 1045 was heated to over
746°C, which was the A2 transformation point,
and cooled to below 200°C. The FEA results could
confirm the heating and cooling temperatures. In
addition, the hardening depth was found to be
similar to the hardened area. When AISI 1045 was
heated over the A2 transformation point, its
structure transformed from ferrite to austenite
and it changed from a magnetic material to a
non-magnetic material. The FEA of magnetic flux
density and Joule heat density during heating
revealed that high-frequency induction hardening
is favorable for surface hardening.
